The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office arrested two Arcadia women Monday on charges of grand theft for allegedly stealing more than $300 worth of merchandise from Walmart on Kings Highway.

According to the arrest reports, a Walmart loss inspector said he observed two women — Stacey Lynn Trowell, 31, and Angel Marie Kirsch, 46, both of the 1000 block of S.E. 8th Place, Arcadia — apparently working together to conceal items from the store. According to CCSO, while one would watch, the other would conceal items in a purse. They paid for 14 items, then left the store with other things still concealed. When the loss prevention officer approached them, they ran toward the parking lot and entered Culver’s Restaurant.
